Many thanks Aenea!

No need to rob the decals from the booklet .. recently I found a decal set, that has these included (Aeromaster 48 644 BoB final throes pt.2).

@Jean-Luc: thank you for the photo feature!!! .. did you use your own pix or Marc's?

all the best

Steffen

very nice indeed Steffen !.

not only do the Kagero Emil monographs have a lovely decal sheet (I think one volume has masks) they also feature a superb collection of Emil photos..

Great looking 109 Steffen.

I've always liked the markings on Pingels' airplane.

Hi Steffen

Nice job! If you've got steady hand, you could add a white-wall tailwheel tyre as the icing on the cake.

Talking of wheels... do you know if there's an explanation why wheel hubs on the same type of Luftwaffe aircraft were sometimes black, sometimes RLM 02?

All the best

Very nice job on the 109, Steffen.

The choice of camouflage and markings is a good one. The contrast between the camouflage and the colourful markings are very nice and looks striking. Especially the spinner and engine cowling.

Thanks for sharing

Many thanks Jesper!

There is also a Build Log here on Aeroscale .. I tried to convince J-L to add it to the Foto Feature but he does not like the idea.

I was quite busy over the summer 2 Fw 190, this 109, P-40N-1, F4U-5N Corsair, He112V6 and my Fokker E.V is almost finished ... all with Blogs here .. more in the pipe line. I think there will be a FM-2 for "Aces2" .. or a MiG-17F ... i still hope Gordon will have a heart and send me payment details so I can get my Super Etendard dash to make the Marseillaise dead line ...

all the best

Hi Steffen,

It's not that I don't like the idea, but I forgot... It's done now.
